Back in
1897, the New York State Association of Retail Bakers was founded on the
principle that "Friendships created in social gatherings and festivities
will crystallize themselves into bonds of permanency and thereby contribute
to the welfare of the Baking Industry." For over 116 years, our association
has functioned and flourished under this credo. At least once a month, we
gather to see old friends and new associates, discuss trends within the
baking industry and explore ways to enhance the service and products we
provide to the public.

Over
the past 100 plus years we have come together through good times and bad;
through two World Wars, the Great Depression, the sugar crisis of the
1970's, and other innumerable other catastrophes in American history that
have impacted our industry and might have threatened the survival of a less
committed trade association.

As we
enter our second century of existence, the New York State Association of Retail
Bakers remains a stronger and more diverse group than it has been in many
years. We are comprised of dedicated men and woman who wake each morning to
bake cakes, breads, bagels, donuts, pastries and an ever-increasing array of
specialty items. What unites us is a simple but very important goal: To
produce high quality baked goods, seek new and innovative ways to market
them and continually improve our level of customer service. We are at the
same time committed to supporting the communities in which we live and
operate. This, the love of what we do , is what has kept our association
active and vital for well over 100 years.
